AUGUSTA — Philanthropist Elsie Pike Viles, who gave her heart and her money to support local causes, died Saturday at age 98.

Donations from the Elsie & William Viles Foundation built the healing garden at the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care and helped fund the new Alfond Center for Health, the proposed Lithgow Public Library expansion, the building of the Kennebec Valley YMCA, the stained-glass window restoration at South Parish Congregational Church and the auditorium at Cony High School, among many other civic endeavors.
Viles, who was surprisingly tall when she stood up from a chair and who had a wide variety of hats to wear in public, had spent much of the past few years on the first floor of the historic Cony/Manley House on Stone Street, where she had lived since 1955. She died at home, said her longtime friend and attorney, Warren Winslow.
Grandson Will Lund said Viles "was a wonderful grandmother." The Viles' home had served as the family's focal point in recent decades.
"The family is scattered around the country, and this house served as a host location for holiday events; and she was always very pleased to have the family here," Lund said. "She had a sense of fun.
Whether it was a theme like hats or simply an outside gathering in the summer, she managed to infuse fun into her outdoor activities in a way that really attracted people to her and to whatever causes she was working with at the time."
Lund said Viles knew how to leverage her money and influence to gain donations from others and frequently set up matching grant challenges.
"She made sure she was comfortable with the charity or with the cause before she extended herself," Lund said. "She asked the tough questions, so recipients were expected to remain accountable as well. She accomplished everything she set out to do in her 98 years."
By early Monday, Lund already had received almost 75 condolence messages and calls.
"It's incredible, the numbers of lives she touched here," Lund said. "Her focus was on the Augusta area. She resisted the temptation to think too broadly and too globally. She knew she could make a difference in this area, and she wanted to see the results and hear from the people who benefited from her charity."
Viles had shared the home with her late husband, Bill, who owned a timber company, a paper company and the former Augusta Lumber Co. He had bought the home in 1930, and Elsie Viles' will leaves the property to the foundation, Winslow said.
Winslow said Viles took a personal interest in each charity she supported.
"Her enthusiasm was contagious," Winslow said. "No matter what project she was interested in, she could get other people interested in that as well. I'll never forget about five years ago one of the local charities made arrangements for Elsie to come over to make arrangements to give funds to their charity. At the end of the meeting, Elsie was able to talk the chair of the group into giving to one of the projects she was working on."
In 2007, she was recognized by the Legislature for her community contributions, and then-Gov. John E. Baldacci named her "first lady for a day."
On a 2008 "Cornerstone: The Story of Elsie Viles" video about Viles' life and contributions to the community, Viles talks about why she donated to a project or organization: "I want to make it even better than it is, if I can. What you choose to do lasts."
Augusta City Manager William Bridgeo described Viles as "the most impressive philanthropist and community booster I ever met. Elsie was a neighbor, and she and I shared many delightful conversations and moments together over the years. Her whole life was about her family, her friends and her community. I'll miss her very much."

JMU Football History: The 2013 season is JMU's 42nd season of football, its 40th varsity football season, its 35th season with football scholarship players and its 34th season competing at what is now the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level, formerly Division I-AA.
JMU began football in 1972, moved to a recognized varsity schedule in 1974, first awarded scholarships for the 1979 season and moved to Division I-AA in 1980. JMU moved from Division III to Division in 1979 and to then-Division I-AA for the 1980 season.
JMU's top seasons in addition to winning the 2004 NCAA Division I-AA championship (13-2) have been in 2008 when the Dukes reached the FCS semifinals as the playoffs' top-seeded team and compiled a 12-2 record, 2007 (8-4, NCAA playoffs), 2006 (9-3, NCAA playoffs), 1999 (8-4, NCAA playoffs), 1995 (8-4, NCAA playoffs), 1994 (10-3, NCAA playoffs, second round), 1991 (9-4, NCAA playoffs, second round), 1987 (9-3, NCAA playoffs), 1982 (8-3), 1978 (8-2, No. 9, Division III), and 1975 (9-0-1, College Division).
Playoffs Expanding Again in 2013: In 2011, JMU took advantage of the playoff expansion to 20 teams by grabbing one of the last slots in the 2011 FCS Playoffs and advancing to the second round after defeating Eastern Kentucky. This year, the playoffs increase in participation again, as 24 teams will be selected for the field, 11 via auto bids as the Pioneer League's champion will now be automatically invited to the postseason. The top eight teams will be seeded, receive first-round byes and host second-round games. The 16 other teams will bid to host first-round games.
Three Selected To Preseason All-CAA Squads: Senior linebacker Stephon Robertson was named the Colonial Athletic Association Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and was one of three Dukes named to the preseason squad, announced at the CAA Football Media Day at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md. Joining Robertson on the squad was junior safety Dean Marlowe and senior kicker Cameron Starke.
The 2012 CAA Defensive Player of the Year, Robertson was previously selected as a Walter Camp All-American and a Second Team Associated Press and Sports Network All-American, as well as earning First Team All-CAA honors. A starter in all 11 games last year and 34 played in his career, Robertson was a force for Madison's defense, which ranked second in the CAA and 24th in FCS football in scoring, first in the league and 19th nationally in rushing defense and fifth in the CAA in pass defense. Also a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation's top defensive player, Robertson finished with a team-high 101 tackles, including 48 solos, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and five pass breakups, which earned him First Team All-CAA honors for the second straight year after being named CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2010.
A two-time All-CAA selection, including a first-team honor last season, Marlowe was the only sophomore and one of four non-seniors on the league's first team last year. A Preseason All-America pick by The Sports Network, the safety had a career season-high 82 tackles on the year, including 44 solos, 5.0 for loss, seven passes defended, team-high tying three interceptions, one forced fumble and one safety. One of the leaders on a JMU defense that was second in the CAA in scoring, first in rushing and fifth in pass defense, Marlowe ranked second on the team, third among CAA defensive backs and ninth in the CAA overall at 7.45 tackles per game and 7.63 in league contests. He was tied for eighth in the league with three interceptions and recorded a season-high 12 tackles in the home win over William & Mary, one of two games with 10 or more tackles on the year.
A Second Team All-CAA pick last year, Starke was a solid kicker for the Dukes, hitting all 37 of his point after attempts and going 10-for-14 (71.4 percent) on the year in field goal attempts, including connecting on all seven from inside 40 yards. He ranked second on the team in scoring with 67 points, including a career-long 49-yarder as part of a 13-10 win over then-defending CAA champion Towson. For his career, he is 25-of-33 (.758) on field goals and 71-of-72 (.987) on extra points, including two game-winning field goals on final plays in 2011. His 15 field goals in 2011 tied a school record for a single season as he is a career 25-for-33 (75.8 percent) on field goals.
James Madison Football On TV: Six 2013 James Madison University football games are scheduled to be televised through a package coordinated by the Colonial Athletic Association, the conference announced today. Another JMU game will be available for viewing through the Web-streaming service ESPN3, with all home games available on MadiZONE HD SportsNet presented by JMU Alumni Association.
The Dukes' will be nationally televised in CAA games on the NBC Sports Network three times during the year, as well as on the NBC Sports Regional Networks three times, making Madison the most televised CAA squad in the package. JMU's national broadcasts will be the home contest against Richmond on Oct. 12 at 3:30 p.m., as well as road contests at New Hampshire on Nov. 9 at 12:30 p.m., and at Towson on Nov. 23 at 3:30 p.m. The regional broadcasts include the Sept. 28 game at Delaware at 7 p.m. and home tilts with Villanova on Nov. 2 at 2:30 p.m. and Nov. 16 against CAA newcomer Stony Brook at 3:30 p.m.
JMU's game at Akron on Sept. 7 is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., and will be televised live on ESPN3, giving Madison fans the opportunity to watch four of the five road contests free of charge via television or the internet.
National Rankings: JMU come into the 2013 season with high expectations from both the coaches and the media, according to their respective polls. The Dukes were ranked 15th in the FCS Coaches Preseason poll, while being in the No. 19 slot in The Sports Network poll, which is voted on by sports information, media members, broadcasters and other dignitaries.
Last Meeting - JMU Escapes With Home Victory Over Blue Devils: In front of a record-setting 25,102 fans at the expanded Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, James Madison held on for its first victory of the season against Central Connecticut State 14-9.
The Dukes took the early lead with a six-play, 87-yard drive on their second possession as junior quarterback Justin Thorpe hit junior Jon Sharp on a 28-yard pass. That 7-0 lead held until the Blue Devils connected on a 35-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.
CCSU then had an opportunity to take the lead, recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. However, the Blue Devils came up three yards short on a fake field goal attempt.
After exchanging possessions, the Dukes finally put the game away with a quick 36-yard drive, culminating in an eight-yard plunge by redshirt sophomore Dae'Quan Scott out of the wildcat formation. (Full recap on page 20.)
Home Is Where the Heart (And the Victories) Are: The Dukes are tough to beat at Bridgeforth Stadium under Head Coach Mickey Matthews. In his 13-plus years at the helm, Matthews has led his squad to a solid 63-19 (.768) record in Harrisonburg. What makes that more impressive is that eight of the losses occurred during a two-year span (2001-02) when the Dukes had a combined overall record of 7-16 (JMU was 2-9 in 2001 and 5-7 in 2002). This year, JMU is 5-0 at home, its 10th-straight .500 or better season at home.
Additionally, Madison has only lost two non-conference games at home, and only one regular-season, out-of-league home tilt, under Matthews in 26 contests. The two losses were in the 2002 home opener against Hampton and the 2008 National Semifinal against Montana.

Matthews Reaches the Century Mark: JMU Head Coach Mickey Matthews recently accomplished a historic milestone in his coaching career. In his 14th season at the helm of the Dukes, Matthews earned his 100th career victory with a 13-10 win over then-No. 12 Towson, Oct. 6. He is currently 25th on the FCS career active victories list with 103 victories, just behind New Hampshire's Sean McDonnell with 104 wins.
Oh Captain, My Captains: James Madison's Stephon Robertson, Tyler Snow, Dae'Quan Scott, Quintin Hunter and Josh Wells have been selected by their teammates as captains for the 2013 football season. Robertson and Snow are captains for the second straight season, while this is the first time for the remaining three.
Preseason All-America Honors: James Madison's Stephon Robertson and Dean Marlowe were named Preseason All-Americans by The Sports Network, the organization announced. Robertson was a first-team selection at linebacker, while Marlowe was on the second team at safety.
Robertson Getting In On the Play: Redshirt-junior linebacker Stephon Robertson has shown a nose for the football throughout his collegiate career. A 2013 Sports Network First-Team Preseason All-American and CAA Defensive Player of the Year at linebacker in 2012, Robertson led the Dukes in tackles in seven of the 11 games last season, including a career-high 15 in the win over No. 12 Towson. He averaged 9.18 tackles per game (101 total, 48 solos), which was third in the CAA and tied for 43rd in the nation. He had his first pass interception of the year and second of his career at Maine. He has contributed five pass breakups on the season, along with 8.5 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks. He recorded double-digit tackles in last games this season, including five of the last seven - all CAA games.
In his career, Robertson has started in 34 of a possible 35 games. He has amassed 304 career tackles, an average of 8.94 tackles per game, despite being targeted as a threat by every opposing offense. He has also been named a 2013 Preseason All-American by Phil Steele's College Football Preview and The Sports Network and is also on the initial watch list for the Buck Buchanan Award after finishing second among underclassmen and eighth overall in last year's balloting despite appearing on just the final watch list.
Scott Chewing Up Ground:James Madison running back Dae'Quan Scott was eating up yardage lastseason. In his nine contests, Scott led the team with 781 yards on 155 carries (5.0 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns. His average of 86.8 yards per game ranked third in the CAA and 45th nationally. He tied for the team lead with 30 receptions for 295 yards (9.8 yards per catch) and four scores. His 8.00 points per game was third in the league and 23rd nationally. He posted his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the year, third in a row and 12th of his career when he had 23 carries for 121 yards and one touchdown against Maine, Nov. 3, 2012.
Scott continues to move up the JMU career rushing charts to 10th with 2,292 yards. He also ranks ninth at JMU in career scoring with 180 points, six points back of Rodney Landers (2005-08) and Curtis Keaton (1998-99) at 186 points. He also is eighth in career all-purpose yards at 3,181 yards.
Starke Is Solid With the Foot But Splits the Uprights Even Better at Home: Redshirt senior kicker Cameron Starke has shown his ability to hit clutch kicks for the Dukes, having connected on two final-play, game-winning field goals in 2011.
A Second Team All-CAA pick last year, Starke was a solid kicker for the Dukes, hitting all 37 of his point after attempts and going 10-for-14 (71.4 percent) on the year in field goal attempts, including connecting on all seven from inside 40 yards. He ranked second on the team in scoring with 67 points, including a career-long 49-yarder as part of a 13-10 win over then-defending CAA champion Towson.
For his career, he is 25-of-33 (.758) on field goals and 71-of-72 (.987) on extra points, including two game-winning field goals on final plays in 2011. His 15 field goals in 2011 tied a school record for a single season as he is a career 25-for-33 (75.8 percent) on field goals.
Smith Coming Into His Own As a Wide Receiver: Junior DeAndre' Smith is continuing to show his growth with Madison, tallying his best game of his career at Richmond, Oct. 20, 2012. Smith had six receptions for career highs of 122 yards and two touchdowns. This year, Smith is the top receiving returner with 323 yards last year on 29 catches (second among returners) and two scores.
Birdsong Made History at Quarterback: True freshman Michael Birdsong made his first collegiate start in the Georgia State game, leading the Dukes to a victory. Birdsong was 11-for-23 for 119 yards and one touchdown through the air while carrying the ball six times for 43 yards.
The start made him the first true freshman to start at the JMU signal caller slot since Head Coach Mickey Matthews' fourth season as head man of the Dukes in 2002. That year, Jayson Cooke started the season finale at Northeastern on Nov. 23, 2002, a game won by the Huskies 41-10. Other true freshman starters during Matthews' tenure have been current wide receivers coach Clayton Matthews (9/22/11) and Mike Connelly (10/23/99).
An injury cut his season short by two games, but he finished 41-for-77-for 478 yards, four touchdowns and just one interception. He is slated to be the starting quarterback for the Dukes this season.
Taking on FCS Teams Not Kind to JMU: Against NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams that still compete in the division, JMU has a 4-17 record. The Dukes last played an FBS opponent last season, losing to West Virginia at FedEx Field in Washington, D.C., 42-12. This year, Madison will head to Mid-American Conference-foe Akron for its FCS game, playing at the Zips on Sept. 7 at 6 p.m.

How do you remove stains on jeans, like the blood, for example? I know that water Bleach will not help thats b / c for whites only. Do you know any difficult stain, that if you do buy it and how it is? Thankkkksss (:
I removed the blood stains from blue jeans with "Spray and Wash Stain Remover" stick. It looks a glue stick that much more important. Rub it in really well, then wash. It worked very well. I think it's $ 5-10 when I bought it. Is in Canada. Have not been able to find it. I called the manufacturer and they said the package has been modified. Viewing around the stain in the driveway of the offer laundry. I hope you succeed!

Saint Women Return Home for Final Pair of Home Games
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia women's basketball team went 1-1 last week, picking up an 82-48 victory over Francis Marion University on Thursday, Feb. 14 before falling 66-62 at the University of North Carolina Pembroke. The Saints now enter the final three games of the regular season, including their final two games at home this week.
The Saints (9-14, 7-9 PBC) can still make the 2013 Peach Belt Conference Basketball Championships, but they must win at least two of their final three games while also receiving a little help from Georgia College, the team currently occupying fourth in the PBC West Division.
For North Georgia to have the opportunity to travel to Columbus, Ga. for the tournament the Bobcats must lose Saturday's game at home against the University of Montevallo and/or drop two or more of their final three games with the Saints must win at least two of the final games. If the Bobcats lose to Montevallo on Saturday, it would move the Falcons back up into second place in the division and give North Georgia the needed tie-breaker should the Bobcats and Saints finish with the same conference and divisional record.
The Saints enter this weekend as a 41.7% shooting team while averaging 64.5 points per game.
Mimi Hill is coming off one of her best two game performances of the season as she averaged 24.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game last week while shooting 58.8% from the field, collecting career-highs in both points (32) and rebounds (13) against the University of North Carolina Pembroke. She currently averages 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, but her average goes up to 15.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in conference action.
Fellow junior Jaymee Carnes averages 18.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game while shooting 43.8% from the field. Her scoring average has her third in the conference while her boards per game is tops in the Peach Belt.
Stephanie Huffman is the final Saint to average double figures with 12.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game while averaging 37.5 minutes per game. She is a 42.0% shooter and leads the team with 3.1 assists per game.
Young Harris (13-10, 7-9 PBC) enters Thursday's game having won three of its last five, but lost to Francis Marion 58-51 on Saturday.
The last time Young Harris and North Georgia met, the Mountain Lions defended their den with a 71-64 victory on Thursday, Feb. 7. In that game, Young Harris received double-digit games from four players including 18 from Keta Robinette and played just seven players against the Saints.
As a team, the Mountain Lions are currently shooting 44.8% from the field and average 65 points per game. They lead the conference in shooting, are third in three-point shooting and are sixth in scoring average.
Ladondra Johnson is the only player for Young Harris to score in double-digits with 20.1 points per game, good enough for tops in the conference, but she has not seen the court since scoring 15 points in a 68-55 loss at Georgia College on January 24.
Behind Johnson, Peyton Robertson is 10th in the conference with a 48.7% shooting performance while averaging 9.6 points per game and 6.2 rebounds. Lauren Smith is the other player for Young Harris to average 9.0 points per contest and adds in 4.0 rebounds while leading the team with 6.2 assists per game.
Lander (8-14, 5-10 PBC) has lost four of its last five games entering this week's games, including three-straight to No. 3 Clayton State, No. 12 USC Aiken and Francis Marion from Saturday, Feb. 2 through Saturday, Feb. 9. The Bearcats are currently last in the conference in scoring with an average of 57.9 points per outing.
As a team, the Bearcats shoot 35.2% from the field but are not a three-point heavy team as they shoot just 28.7% from three-point range as a team. Aarika Judge leads the team with 56 made treys on the season, but Zandi Ashleigh leads the team with a 34.4% completion percentage from behind the arc. She has only made 11 three-pointers.
Judge and Precious Elkins lead the team in scoring and are tied for eighth in the league in scoring with 14.7 points per game. Elkins leads the team under the basket with 8.7 rebounds per game, third in league.

Can I tell you how happy we Mizzou alumni are to be here? I realize it's Independence Day, but July 1st was our Independence Day... Aggies and Tigers rejoice-- the best conference in THE LAND.
Happy Independence Day! Here's hoping you have a fun and safe 4th of July.
First, as a long-time lover of Boston, let me just act as travel tipster and say that Revolution history buffs simply have to visit that city at some point in their lives. (For that matter, Independence Hall in Philadelphia will give you chills and Charleston, South Carolina has the feel of another era, as well… but Boston is filled to the top of its beanpot with Revolutionary War history.)
Second, here are just a few headlines for you on this holiday:
1. The playoff selection committee could become football's new power brokers.
2. Uh, so like Alabama is supposed to take Western Kentucky seriously?
3. Auburn hoops coach Tony Barbee says "The players we brought in are better than the players that left." (Snap.)
4. Would Arkansas AD Jeff Long consider bringing Bobby Petrino back?
5. So maybe this is why John L. Smith dumped his alma mater, Weber State, and ran back to take an interim gig in Fayetteville — he's facing bankruptcy.
6. Ole Miss' big man Murphy Holloway tried to turn heads at the Amare Stoudemire Skills Academy.
7. After sending out a fan survey, UM officials are making changes at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
8. Athlon predicts a six-win season for Mississippi State, but this writer "can see MSU winning eight games in the regular season without terrible difficulty."
9. Kevin Sumlin hasn't coached a game at Texas A&M, but this scribe says Eric Hyman's arrival as AD puts him on the clock. (Technically, don't all coaches go onto the hot seat about as soon as they're hired these days?)
10. A few Florida freshman will likely get some early playing time this fall.
11. Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree is one of the SEC's best.
12. The past 12 months weren't a banner year for Tennessee athletics.
13. Kevin Stallings is shaking up his coaching staff at Vanderbilt.
14. This writer thinks Missouri basketball is primed for quick success in the SEC.
Have a good holiday everyone.

Due to the nature of reactive glaze, each piece of this handcrafted collection will exhibit unique variations in color and pattern. Microwave and dishwasher safe. This bowl is the perfect buffet companion because the lid keeps the heat in so servings of stuffing, macaroni and cheese or scalloped potatoes stay warm throughout the meal. Travels easily from the oven to the table and it's the perfect dish for storing and reheating holiday leftovers. Oven safe up to 500 degrees F. Round covered casserole holds 59 ounce.

Many award recipients at the 2011 NCAA Honors Celebration partially credited their successes to the college coaches who impacted their lives.
Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, who received the NCAA's highest individual recognition, the Theodore Roosevelt Award, said she would never forget her coaches at the State University of New York at Cortland. Before becoming the first woman to command a battalion in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and earn the rank of four-star general, she competed in gymnastics and tennis.
"Miss Sylvia Stokes, my tennis coach, taught me never to confuse enthusiasm with capability," Dunwoody said. "And trust me, that's come in very handy in my Army career. And (Antoinette) "Toni" Turburzi, (is) a real Cortland legend. She was my gymnastics coach and she desperately tried to teach this tomboy a little grace and style on the gymnastics floor. A ballerina I was not."
Silver Anniversary winner Bo Jackson said that in his four years at Auburn, he managed to grow from an immature kid to a responsible young man. The former NFL and MLB player and commercial icon credited his transformation to the people he surrounded himself with, including his coaches.
"They became my parents away from home," he said.
By Kristen Leigh Porter
While Joe Girardi's mother slept in a Peoria, Ill., hospital, her body fighting the cancer that eventually took her life, her son's college coach visited her bedside.
Northwestern coach Ron Wellman and his wife Linda had developed a deep connection with Angela Girardi, whose son was playing baseball in the Cape Cod League that summer.
Girardi, a longtime Major League Baseball player and current New York Yankees manager, paid tribute to his former coach after receiving an NCAA Silver Anniversary Award recognizing distinguished former student-athletes. The 1986 Northwestern graduate and other award recipients will be featured in a 2011 NCAA Honors Celebration broadcast Monday at 1 p.m. EST on ESPN2.
"There are things that you go through in life that are extremely difficult," Girardi said. "For me, I lost my mother when I was 19 years old.
"But Ron Wellman, my coach…It's so important in life when you're a coach, to be more than a coach. It's not about you, it's about them. It's about them because they have real issues in life. They have struggles. And you have to be a friend, you have to be a mentor. And he was that."
When Angela Girardi passed away and the Wellmans returned to Central Illinois for her funeral, Joe broke down in Linda's arms.
"He would come over to our house all the time and play Pac-Man with our kids and things like that," Ron Wellman said. "There was a strong relationship there. Still is."
Wellman, who coached the Wildcats from 1982-86, is now the athletics director at Wake Forest. In that position he probes for certain qualities in his hires. He wants a role model, someone who will develop positive relationships with student-athletes.
"They're much more than just someone who teaches (student-athletes) the game of baseball or basketball or football -- they are teaching them the game of life," Wellman said. "This is the first time that most of these young men or women have been away from their parents, so oftentimes the coach becomes the surrogate parent and fills that parental role with the student-athlete the first time they are away from home."
Girardi said he speaks regularly with current Northwestern coach Paul Stevens, who was an assistant coach from 1985-87.
Said Stevens: "Joe Girardi is one of the most disciplined and dedicated individuals I've ever been around."
Girardi also remains close to his former teammates.
"The one thing I found about being a collegiate athlete is the life-long bonds you form," said Girardi, who earned three World Series rings as a player and one as a manager.

Bad Attitudes; Bad Service – Well, excusssssssssssssssse ME! This isn't Tiffany's; so what's up with their "high brow" attitude here? I had left a watch to have one link taken out. The young man forgot to give me a receipt for the watch. No problem. I just trusted them to call me. Well, they didn't call me!!!!! I called after 2 weeks and asked them if my watch was in and some man said, "Yes", with a "But don't bother me" tone of voice. I did ask him why no one contaced me to tell me the watch was in. BIG MISTAKE. He replied in his, "I've got something up my nose" tone of voice, "We don't call people about their watches when they come in". I was flabbergasted by that answer. They don't, WHAT? Good God. So, when I went to pick up my watch, the lady who was at the front desk helped me after many others bypassed me to help those with their noses in the showcases. After all, who'd want to waste a chance to make a commission over some customer who needs to pick up a lowly watch?? The lady who did help me was an iceberg, but I got my watch; but more importantly, I got a good glimpse at their poor employee training techniques. Too bad for Ben Bridge and how many people will hear about my negative experience.

Since we've been offering our new line of recycled plastic outdoor furniture, I've been learning more about plastics pollution and trying to figure out how Vermont Woods Studios Furniture can help reduce it.
I came across a list of Top 10 Ways to Go Plastic Free in– where else– the Plastic Free Times. Here are 5 of those ideas:
* BYOBottle- bring a stainless steel water bottle instead of drinking water out of disposable plastic bottles
* BYOBag- bring your own reusable bag to the grocery store
* Bring Back the Milkman- glass-bottled milk is now available in most grocery stores, including Trader Joe's
* Say No to Straws- who really needs one anyway?
* Use wax paper instead of saran wrap or better yet, use glass food storage containers
Lot's more tips are available in the Plastic Free times. Check it out.
I have to note also that for each of our recycled plastic outdoor chairs, an average of 500 milk jugs are taken out of the waste stream!

I can't imagine anyone feeling any different than I do. When I saw this story it filled me with hope & happiness that I needed to share ASAP. The video that loads immediately is a must-watch.

Leaving the parking lot of my favorite Franklin grocery store today (yes that would be Sendik's) I saw the best license plate. I should've snapped a photo of it but didn't. It read, "GO GR33N." (Apparently they either can't spell or the word GREEN was taken.) What kind of vehicle was the plate affixed to?
Dolphins do NOT make good midwives
I have had the incredible fortune of swimming with dolphins three times in my life: on a Disney vacation with Kevin, on our honeymoon, and on our babymoon. I can't wait for the day that we can share that amazing experience with Kyla. Truly there is nothing else like it in the world.

This 45-room hotel is located among homes of the super-rich on a lush, private island that's a 10-minute ferry ride from the Miami mainland. It doesn't have the party scene, the high-design rooms, or the gourmet restaurants of the mainland luxury hotels. But its history, charm, and beautiful golf and tennis facilities make it a great choice for couples and families looking for something special.
The 100-room Hotel Breakwater's highlight is its location -- on Ocean Drive, across the street from the most popular area of the beach (however, proximity to Ocean Drive's restaurants and bars can mean noisy nights). The hotel takes up two adjacent towers, one of which is in the former Edison Hotel building. Rooms all feature handsome, modern yet minimal decor -- crisp white bedding with avocado-green throws, sepia-toned photographs, dark patterned carpets, and streamlined furniture. The rooftop lounge (where a Calvin Klein underwear ad was shot) is a popular nighttime spot, and the pool (though small) is sleek, and has views of the ocean.
After its $1 billion facelift in 2008, the Fontainebleau's 1,504 new rooms, nine pools, phenomenal spa and gorgeous design are hard to top. Despite its sexy ads and nightclub, it's a relaxed property that attracts mostly families and convention goers. Its peacful Miami Beach location - next to the also snazzy Eden Roc hotel - is 30 blocks from the South Beach action.
Renovated in 2008 and just steps from the shopping, drinking, and dining on the Miracle Mile, Westin's 157 rooms are clean and spacious with excellent beds. Service is sound, but the gym and pool are significantly better at the Hyatt Regency, just two blocks away.
Offering just 52 rooms in one of the world's most desirable destinations, it's no surprise that the Grand Vacations Club, a timeshare property owned and operated by Hilton, is sold out for months at a stretch. Divided between two adjacent Art Deco buildings directly on Ocean Drive, the hotel clearly has a lock on prime location. However, guests expecting resort-style amenities will be disappointed: The property has no pool, restaurant, lounge or room service, and parking is valet only. Families will likely appreciate the small kitchen for whipping up a quick breakfast or lunch.
This historic Art Deco hotel on Collins Avenue got a breath of new life when it reopened as a stylish 87-room boutique in late 2012. Retro-chic rooms have black-and-white photos on the walls and beachy blue-and-white decor; all have whopping 55-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and sleek bathrooms with walk-in showers (but no tubs). The sunny rooftop pool; clubby lounge with fancy, fresh cocktails; and the super-hip basement nightclub with 80s decor and a soundtrack of 90s hits are all draws. But be warned that the signage can be confusing -- it says The Gale on the front and The Regent on the back, for the two historic hotels that were combined to form the current property. Also, some rooms are noisy, there are no good beach views, and Studios are tiny.
Built in 1926, the iconic Biltmore (a national landmark) brings timeless luxury to a hotel scene overwhelmed by skin-deep glitz. Though far from any beaches, it offers doting (tip-free) service, a miraculous pool, a prestigious golf course and a catalog of amenities. Unfortunately, its residential neighborhood can get boring.
There's nothing luxurious about all-vintage, authentically nicked furniture (except maybe the price). But the Raleigh's iconic pool, great restaurant, plush beds, high-def TVs, lively bar scene, DVD library, and relaxed dedication to all things cool make it ideal for low-maintenance hipsters craving lackluster glam.
A moderately priced designer hotel on posh upper Collins Avenue, the National boasts one of the largest, sleekest pools in Miami. Small rooms, though, and relaxed, haphazard service doesn't contend with its super-chic neighbors, the Delano and Sagamore hotels, but a 2013 revamp to exterior and common spaces did help.
After a $40 million overhaul, the Betsy reopened in 2009 with a beautiful rooftop spa and solarium, a renowned restaurant (BLT steak), and bright, charming rooms. The pool's a bit disappointing, and the rooms aren't as large as the Mondrian's, but for tasteful luxury and a rare dose of tranquility on Ocean Drive, this is where it's at.

Decommissioning Laboratory and Associated Facilities Procedure
|Document Number
|Date Approved
|15 February 2012
1. Summary
When laboratories and associated facilities are vacated and/or decommissioned, any chemical, radioactive or biological contamination must be dealt with and all of these materials must be removed and disposed of properly.
2. Scope
This Guideline applies to any Chief Investigator or Responsible Academic moving out of a laboratory or associated facility or a laboratory being decommissioned/ shut down. These moves include: leaving the University, moving to another building or relocating to another laboratory within the same building.
3. Definitions
Decommission - the formal deactivation of a laboratory; assuring the safety of the space for further cleaning, renovation, or occupancy. The decommissioning process involves an inspection by Health and Safety (H&S); and representatives from the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) if PC2; and Radiation Safety Advisor (RSA) if radioactive materials are used.
4. Procedure
Chief Investigators/Authorised Users notify School Unit and H&S when an investigator (laboratory based) will be leaving the University or relocating within the University.
Before removal of materials and equipment, the equipment must be checked for contamination and decontaminated if required.
Pack and remove all chemicals, biological, and radiological materials and equipment.
Check the laboratory for contamination. Contact H&S for assistance with biological, chemical and radiological site evaluations and decontamination. H&S will advise Chief Investigator/Authorised User on precautions to be taken during decontamination and transfer of biological, chemical, and radioactive materials. Information regarding relocating laboratory hazardous materials is available upon request.
If contamination is identified by H&S personnel, H&S will notify Principal Investigators/Authorised Users. Chief Investigators/Authorised Users will be responsible for all decontamination activities including biological, chemical, and radioactive. The School is responsible for any deficiencies not corrected by the Chief Investigator/Authorised User and any ensuing costs.
The Chief Investigator or Responsible Academic must complete Appendix 2
Laboratory/Facility Decontamination Certificate and forward to H&S to notify that the decontamination of the facility is complete. Facilities Management will be notified by H&S after the decommissioning is complete.
NOTE: Facilities Management will not service or clean laboratory facilities that have not been decommissioned by H&S.
4.1 Radiation Facilities
4.1.1 Prior to relocating to the new radioisotope facility, the facility must be approved by the RSA and Chemical and Radiation Technical Committee (CRTC) and registered with the EPA. H&S will notify the Authorised User of approval.
4.1.2 Use of radioactive materials should be discontinued at least one week prior to relocation.
4.1.3 Review the complete log of all isotopes (including activities) previously used in the facility.
4.1.4 All radioactive waste containers not being transferred to a new facility must be relocated to the radiation storage facility organised through the local Radiation Safety Coordinator (RSC).
4.1.5 Radioactive waste which has decayed to a safe level (below 100 becquerels per gram and meeting the other legal requirements such as total activity and specific activity) can be disposed of as chemical or clinical/biological waste. For chemical waste an isotopic declaration sheet must be completed http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/environmental-sustainability/campus-management/waste.html#chemical
4.1.6 Conduct a Radiation Contamination Survey (this should be organised through the local Radiation Safety Coordinator or the RSA)
220.127.116.11 For surface contamination (including bench tops, sinks, taps, light switches, cupboards and handles, fridges, and possibly floors), a full contamination survey needs to be conducted.
126.96.36.199 It is important to initially review what isotopes (and their characteristics) have been used in the past (a minimum of the last five (5) years). From this list the type of survey (portable contamination meter or wipe test) can be determined. Soft Betas and some gammas will require a wipe test – eg 3H, 14C, 35S, 125I and possibly 32P. For most others the use of a portable instrument will suffice.
184.108.40.206 Conduct the contamination survey and record the results. See Appendix 3 for the wipe test procedure and the method of calculation.
126.96.36.199 An operational definition needs to be established as to the maximum amounts of such contamination that would be tolerable.
The following tables list the two established levels or requirements:
AS2243.4 Contamination Levels
Radiotoxicity Group
Maximum levels within laboratory
Maximum level on skin or items leaving the laboratory
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3a
Group 3b
Group 4
Legislative Requirements (Section 21 of Regulations)
Scheduled Level Group
Alpha Radiation
Maximum levels
Beta or Gamma Radiation
Maximum level
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
4.2 Decontamination Procedure
4.2.1 Once contamination levels have been determined the following is the decontamination process:
22.214.171.124 Loosely attached radioactive material on the bench top and floor may be removed by wiping with damp paper towelling. Again check the contamination levels (wipe test or instrument). If this does not achieve a reasonable result then the use of radiation decontamination detergent will be required.
184.108.40.206 Clean using one of the proprietary radiation decontamination detergents (used as described in the directions that come with the detergent). Again check the contamination levels (wipe test or instrument). Repeat the decontamination process and re-check levels).
184.108.40.206 Every effort should be made to eliminate it so that the activity indicated by the instrument or on the filter paper is finally zero or close to zero.
188.8.131.52 If contamination is persistent, and firmly attached, and activity still exceeds the above maximum figures, contact H&S or the University RSA for advice.
220.127.116.11 All wipes used in cleaning should be placed in a radiation
waste receptacle and the affected areas monitored. Decontamination should be carried out until no further reduction in radiation levels (as checked by the Radiation Safety Coordinator) is being achieved,
provided that the contamination level is then below the maximum permissible..
4.2.2 Upon written notification by the Chief Investigator/Authorised
User or the RSC that the facility has been cleaned and decontaminated, the RSA will conduct a radiological survey of the facility. In addition, RSA will verify that the equipment used to store or analyse radioactive materials is decontaminated. For information on equipment decontamination, contact RSA or refer to the Radiation Safety Manual http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/health-safety/research-teaching-safety/radiation-safety. Chief Investigators/Authorised Users will be notified of the results. If contamination is identified, laboratory personnel will be responsible for decontamination. The laboratory will be re-evaluated upon completion of decontamination efforts.
4.2.3 The registration will be surrendered upon the completion of decommissioning of the facility.
4.3 Biological Facilities
4.3.1 Upon notification by the Chief Investigator or the School, H&S will verify that all chemical and biological materials have been properly removed, disposed and/or stored.
4.3.2 All in-house equipment and furniture must be cleaned with decontaminating agents such as bleach, 70% alcohol or disinfectant Drawers and cabinets must be emptied.. NOTE- laboratory equipment and furniture should not be transferred to non-laboratory areas
4.3.3 Biological waste disposal is organised through the local Safety Officer or School Office. Biological material must be inactivated before disposal as biohazardous waste through the local clinical waste collection.
4.3.4 Decontamination of biological safety cabinets must be organised through the local safety officer or School Office. If possible request Steve Morgan from CLYDE-APAC Specialty Products, 17 Lorna Street Waratah NSW 2298, Mob 0423705745, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com who is familiar with all the University Equipment and has been inducted for most facilities where he conducts the annual compliance testing.
4.3.5 Chief Investigators/Authorised Users and Facilities Management will be notified of H&S inspection results. Laboratory personnel will be responsible for any additional corrective actions. Decommissioning will be completed upon re-evaluation and Facilities Management will be notified that the area has been decontaminated.
4.3.6 If no longer required the facility certification (if certified) will be surrendered upon completion of decontamination.
4.3.7 Note- Risk Group 2 biological material must only be handled and stored in a PC2 facility. The University does not have any PC3 facilities and as such no risk group 3 biological material can be stored or handled in University facilities.
4.4 Gene Technology
4.4.1 Any transfer of GM (Genetically Modified) material to a new facility (animal facility, glasshouse, laboratory, constant temperature room etc) must be notified to the IBC via H&S prior to the relocation.
4.4.2 Any facility housing GM material must be certified with the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR).
4.4.3 Any GM storage and disposal must be notified to the IBC via H&S. Refer to the OGTR web page for further information http://www.ogtr.gov.au/internet/ogtr/publishing.nsf/Content/dnirstorage-form-1.
4.4.4 GM material must be transported according to OGTR guidelines http://www.ogtr.gov.au/internet/ogtr/publishing.nsf/Content/transport-guide-1
4.5 Hazardous Materials/Chemical Facilities
4.5.1 Chemical waste disposal is organised through the University's chemical waste collection service http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/environmental-sustainability/campus-management/waste.html#chemical. Upon notification, Chemsal will schedule removal of hazardous waste materials. Packaging materials and additional information regarding relocating laboratory hazardous materials is available upon request.

Radiation Contamination Wipe Test Methodology
(University of Newcastle & BSMS, 2012)
A Wipe (smear) test consists of wiping the suspected area with a piece of filter paper several
centimetres in diameter and then measuring the activity on the paper. The area to be wiped
varies according to the extent of the suspected contamination and the physical conditions
under which the survey is made; a wipe area of 100 cm2 is not uncommon. A wipe survey,
which is a systematic series of wipes without first using a scanning instrument to detect the
contamination, is often done in a work area that is often subject to contamination, and where
the background due to radiation sources is high enough to mask the activity due to
contamination. It should be emphasised that a wipe (smear) test is qualitative, or at
best a semiquantitative determination whose chief purpose is to allow an estimate to
be made of the degree to which the surface contamination is fixed (this paragraph
quoted from Cember, 1987).
From Martin and Harbinson (1986): Wipe (Smear) surveys are an indirect method of
measuring surface contamination levels. Once the filter paper has been wiped over the
surface to be checked, it is counted in a detecting system of known efficiency. The
contamination level can be calculated from the formula:
contamination level (Bq/m2) = Cc x (100/Ec ) x (1/A) x (100/EF)
Cc = count rate, corrected for background, in counts per second
Ec = overall percentage efficiency of the counting system
A = area smeared in M2
EF = percentage of the contamination picked up by the paper
The last quantity, EF, is quite difficult to determine and is not reproducible. It is dependent on
various parameters, such as physical and chemical nature of the contamination, the nature of
the base surface and so on. In some circumstances EF is taken as 100% and in these cases
it is the 'removable' contamination which is being determined. More usually a figure of 10%
is assumed.
Determine the approximate surface area of the features (viz., bench top, sinks, etc) and what
area in square metres is to be tested with each fitter paper. Divide the area into sampling
segments and allocate each area an identifying code - an area of 10 cm x 10 cm should be
used. A single filter paper is used for each tap, door handle, light switch, etc.
Wearing double gloves, wipe the surface of each sampling segment with the filter paper.
When the area of the segment has been sampled, cut the filter paper into fragments to fit the
scintillation vial. Place into the vial and add scintillation fluid. Mark the lid with its identifying
Once all the sampling segments are done and the scintillation vials are complete, make up a
control vial using a clean filter paper.
Count for 5 minutes per vial (should be for at least 1 hour per vial for better accuracy) and
determine the areas contaminated and the approximate level of contamination using the
results. Remember from the theory to incorporate the counter efficiency and any other
details that may need to be considered for the determination.

Fargo family concerned after break-inFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A North Fargo family is missing thousands of dollars in electronics and other valuables; not to mention the family car, after a break-in over the weekend.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - A North Fargo family is missing thousands of dollars in electronics and other valuables; not to mention the family car, after a break-in over the weekend.
But more importantly, they are missing their peace of mind.
This North Fargo neighborhood was likely quiet this weekend with people gone for the Labor Day holiday, but sometime between Saturday and Sunday afternoon, someone was at the Rustad's home who didn't belong there.
When burglars hit the Rustad family's North Fargo home, they took much more than just "stuff."
Lucas Rustad- Home was Burglarized: "When your kids are crying and they don't feel safe, and your wife is crying, you just feel helpless."
After returning from an overnight trip to Detroit Lakes, Lucas and Sarah noticed something big was missing from their garage.
Sarah's car was gone.
When they got inside, they discovered more than $6,000 worth of electronics, including three flat-screen TVs, were missing.
Rustad: "Some people are telling me that I was lucky I wasn't here. I look at it from a whole different angle. I'm thinking, if I was here, they would have just ran. I'm looking at it. It seems so calculated."
The front door was broken. The deadbolt still fastened.
Fargo Police say an actual break-in like this one is unusual in our area.
Lt. Joel Vettel- Fargo Police Department: "Typically, our burglars here in our community are crimes of convenience, where people go into unlocked garages or unlocked homes."
The Rustads say they hope the person or people who did this are brought to justice, and they're hoping people in the community can keep an eye out.
Sarah Rustad – Home was Burglarized: "We don't care if we get our stuff back, necessarily. I just want them to get what they deserve."
Rustad: "You think, who could do this to another person? Because you can't fathom doing that to somebody else."
Fargo police are continuing their investigation of the break-in.
The Rustad's are really hoping to get the car back. They urge anyone who has seen the vehicle ( a 2007 gray Chevy Impala) to call Fargo police.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that all who believed in him would never die...
Essentially, that. Generally read to indicate an ascension to heaven: but think about that. Eternal life in heaven, yes, better than Hell, but so's being locked in a room and being forced to listen to Fred Phelps for all eternity. But what actually is heaven?
I've seen some suggestions, working under the assumption 'eternal life' includes consciousness, as otherwise it's hardly life.
The main one appears to be progressive time, like the greatest university. You can learn all there is to know, read all there is to read, etc etc. Even assuming the laws of heaven put no limits on your entertainment, it's eternal. You could learn all you want to learn, read every book, memorize every word in every book or film or textbook, fully understand the meaning behind every turn of phrase, every tiny expression, every equation in science, and be able to solve any question (mathematical, logical...) in a split second from so much practise. You could learn every possible mathematical question, and learn every answer, and you could count to infinity, including decimal numbers, a billion times over. And there would still be an eternity to go.
Any kind of eternal life seems like it would eventually become a hell. You could do everything conceivable trillions upon trillions of times, until you've memorized every possible eventuality, and could guess what would happen before you even do it. There'd still be more time to spend in 'heaven'.
People also focus on the horrors of Hell: they never do the same for heaven.
I believe Good Omens (by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman) has a fitting quote: (paraphrased)
"There's this big mountain, a mile high, at the end of the universe, and once every thousand years there's this little bird that flies (or limps as it would be pretty old) and sharpens its beak on the mountain. And then it flies back (possibly in a space ship), until a thousand years later, it does it all again. When the bird has worn the mountain down to nothing, then you still won't be finished watching The Sound of Music."
